[APWG] Invasive Plants Symposium in Columbus, Ohio in December. Call for papers and posters

[Ryan McEwan]

Colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to an invasive plant symposium to be
held at the NCWSS <http://www.ncwss.org/> annual conference in Columbus
Ohio on December 11-12 (and attached).

It is being co-sponsored by MIPN <http://mipn.org/> and the Ohio Invasive
Plants Council <http://www.oipc.info/>.  We expect 200+ people to be in
attendance, and have a great lineup of plenary speakers including  Dr. Dan
Simberloff from the University of Tennessee.  The symposium will be free
people to people that register for the NCWSS conference, but if people
would like to attend just the symposium the cost will be $60 ($30 for
students).

We would especially like papers from graduate students, and will have the
option of either a poster or oral presentation (limited spaces). *So please
encourage students with results to submit.  *

A deadline to submit a TITLE is fast approaching (*Sept. 9th*), but it is
only for title submission.

The abstract is due 11/22. Registration can be conducted by accessing this
website:  http://www.ncwss.org/meeting-page2.php.

Details are below and in the attached document.

Please share this call for papers with other faculty, researchers,
students, and other interested groups.

Best,
Ryan



Info:

The Midwest Invasive Plant Network (MIPN) and the Ohio Invasive Plants
Council (OIPC) are co-hosting a two-day symposium on invasive plants at the
North Central Weed Science Society conference in Columbus, OH, Dec. 11-12.
The symposium will focus on invasive plants in natural areas and will
include a plenary session, as well as concurrent sessions on a broad array
of topics, such as assessing invasiveness of non-native plant species,
using online reporting tools for early detection, and management of some of
the most problematic invasive plants, including an in-depth session on
Asian bush honeysuckle impacts and management.

The plenary session on December 12 will feature the following speakers.
- Daniel Simberloff, University of Tennessee- The future of invasion biology
- Diane Larson, U.S. Geological Survey- Using prairie restoration to
curtail invasion
- Don Cipollini, Wright State University- Chemical ecology of invasive
plants
If you would like to present a talk or poster at the conference, titles
must be submitted to the North Central Weed Science Society (NCWSS) by
September
9. Please note this deadline is just for titles. Abstracts are not due
until Nov. 22. To submit a title for a poster or presentation, visit
http://www.ncwss.org/meeting-page2.php. Instructions on using the online
submission system are available at http://www.ncwss.org/news/
2013/Summer2013.pdf. Though you will be submitting your title to NCWSS, all
presentations on invasive plants in natural areas will be included in the
MIPN/OIPC symposium. Be sure to select the “invasive plants” section when
submitting your abstract.
